There is no reset button on any of the modern units (since 1993), so that is probably not the issue.

The reason the garage door got stuck could be one of many things. The manual lock on the door may have been accidentally engaged, or the hardware on the door may need to be adjusted or replaced.

Rollers may be worn out and locked up or you could have a broken spring on the door or bad motor on the opener.

Regardless of the reason, you’re going to have to call and have someone inspect the garage door and make repairs.

Call us at (513) 821-5095 for professional and affordable service if you need help and reside in the Greater Cincinnati – Northern Kentucky area.

We typically see this caused by a bad remote control.  When they get old, the buttons can get stuck, or they can send random signals.

There are some other rare instances where it can be a short in the wiring, or an electronics problem within the unit.

We have even seen it happen when a homeowner keeps a remote in their purse and it gets bumped around, or there is one in a drawer somewhere and the button is pressed.

If your garage door is giving you fits, give us a call at (513) 821-5095 and we’ll take care of it.
